[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher how would I take it? Like it was mansplaining the problem to me. Do I say thanks to a dad because pointing out all the inequities of the system I as a teacher have no control over, but am held accountable for and am operating within constantly? I don’t know but we are all aware the system is broken. I guess the question is what is he going to do about beyond pointing out the issue. And will his advocacy lift up the people in the system or tear his kids team down?[/quote] What would your reaction have been if had been the mom who said this? Or if OP had not mentioned the gender of the parents in her description of the conversation? Would it still be mansplaining? Would you still be annoyed?[/quote]
